The pic confirmed the two bolts I found. The top one is a bit of a bugger to get out, but it's out. Problem is now, the alternator will not budge at all. Are they in that tight? I don't want to craw bar, if I don't have to. Any input is really appreciated. My alternator only needs bearings, which I found for $10 at a rebuild shop. Beats the hell of the rebuilt alternator prices, not to say I called the dealer for a new one. Just for fun = 1,117 CDN! And I thought our dollar was going up! He, he! Happy Easter! Ben
